We’re going back to the vaults for this track.  This is one of my favourite instrumental tracks of all time.   The original version is a great piece but with the vocals stripped back to just the guitar, drums and strings, the instrumental is a special track indeed. This was featured on the special edition of Placebo’s album Meds.  If you have the CD/DVD edition, the instrumental track is a la karaoke on the DVD (see the video below). A great tune that takes us back a few years.   It has definitely stood the test of time. Hopefully ...

We've just been sent over this exclusive from Portugal's October Flight. The band are a sensation in their native Portugal, throwing together a radio friendly, melodic take on classic 90s grunge rock, reminiscent of the likes of Bush, Soul Asylum and maybe even a smidge of Placebo. New track Make You Mine hits the rest of the world tomorrow, but we're lucky enough to have a free download of it today, give it a listen and d/l below--   October Flight - Make You Mine Radio Mix by SupaJam Story originally posted on SupaJam .

Off the local radar for the past few years, Expatriate’s Ben King tells DARREN LEVIN he’s eager to put the band on the map in Australia again. When Expatriate play the M+N Lunchbox at Sydney’s Goodgod this Friday, it’ll be just their third show on home turf in more than three years. The quartet – guitarist-singer Ben King, drummer Cristo, bassist Dave Molland and keyboardist/guitarist Damian Press – left Australia for Europe following the release of their ARIA-nominated debut In The Midst Of This in 2007. But unlike most Aussie ex-pats, whose European dreams end up ...

Che emozione: dopo le posizioni dalla 40 alla 31 e quelle dalla 30 alla 21, stiamo entrando nella top 20 dei film cannibali più fighi dell’anno, giusto a un passo dalla prestigiosissima top 10. Come dite? Zero emozione? Nemmeno un brividino? Nemmeno quello causato dallo spiffero d’aria della finestra che vi siete dimenticati aperti? Dite che in pieno inverno NON vi dimenticate una finestra aperti? Nemmeno un po’ d’eccitazione per scoprire se il vostro film del cuore sarà stato inserito nella lista o clamorosamente snobbato? Niente? Imperturbabili, siete. E vabbé, che devo fare per farvi crescere l ...

The follow-up to 2007 debut In The Midst Of This , the album was recorded at Monnow Valley Studios in Wales with producer Andy Savours (PNAU, The Killers) and completed at Expatriate’s home studio in Berlin. It’ll ...

El álbum está circulando por Internet desde el 12 de este mismo mes y se trata de un disco en vivo de cuando se presentaron en el Akgkor Wat. La producción, llamada Live At Akgkor Wat, está disponible exclusivamente a través de iTunes y presenta una serie de canciones semiacústicas en el templo del siglo XII llamado Angkor Wat en...

It’s hard to be objective when writing a review of something that you’re not really into and by something I mean Placebo and their recent Blu-Ray for We Come In Pieces. When Placebo was on top of the world in the late 90’s, I couldn’t be bothered to even turn an ear to their version of grunge music. To me, Placebo already sounded trite and dated as th...
